What would stop Tan doing a 'Hammam' if he chose to do so?

[LeningradCowboy]

That's alright.
Once this season ends our total wage bill will be about £10,000 a week with 10 former under 23s in the starting 11 in League 1.

How much larger is our wage bill than say your Blackburns or Millwalls of this league? Is our squad much more extravagant than theirs? I mean this season, not seasons gone by when we had PL or parachute payments.

We've still got Smithies, Morrison, Ralls, and Bacuna on the contracts that they signed when we were in the Premier League. We're probably paying a fair chunk of Murphy's wages as well.

Not to mention £7m of contingent future liabilities related to potential future costs regarding players registrations and transfers as at May 2020 mentioned in the last published accounts. Think the idea is there are a number of bumper clauses on said players bought during the good times, the club plans on us not having to pay one way or another. (Ie.getting them to the end of their contracts without trigger point for clauses met). They believe the likelihood is low enough for them to not have to make provision for them, but material enough to note the existence of.

Tan can do whatever he wants , it's his club

Many years ago the trust was set up to give the fans a voice

But the vast majority of Cardiff City fans were not interested . And the rest openly hostile .

So we lay down for the change to red

And now everybody is getting stressed out ?

I am afraid Tan is in total control

2019/20 Blackburn £16m, Millwall £13m City £46m, but, yes, probably a lot less last season, and even less this season. Maybe in the £20 - £25m now ??

And how much is Tan putting in or did he say at the last time it was talked about?

I'm assuming those other clubs have owners covering their shortfalls too? If not, how do they do it?

That wage bill has risen under the ownership of Tan so if he needs anybody to hold accountable he should look in the mirror.

Don't you understand?

He probably doesn't care

It's his club , he can do what he wants

He is not going to look in the mirror , this is just peanuts to him

He owns the club sludge. I get it.

The club is that of the fans for me. Without them Tan owns a club that is worthless. People should remember that. This club is nothing without the fans. A shell.

If I was him I would care though. If I could change what I did and save myself millions and get more success into the bargain I would listen to the advice and change my methods.

That's cool. We will have a £10,000 a week wage bill. We will be £130m+ in debt, but we will have a £10,000 wage bill.

I was joking by the way.

I did not think our entire squad would be paid a total of £10,000 per week. I thought the ridiculous figure made clear it was a pi$$ take.

You've been serious when saying worse

It wasn't the realism of the £10,000 it was more the idea that we would be better off 'starting again' on a smaller cost base in League One would be one to go for...which I think I've seen similar mooted in another thread and think Ive mixed up threads.

[Nobody's Rep]

I don't know why fans invest so much concern in the clubs finances, didn't anybody learn anything over the past 20 years following the club, Cardiff City is, and in recent times has always been a poorly run business, and we are customers, the bossman himself told us all in a public statement what we should do if we weren't happy with the product..

Surely it is longer than 20 years - when did the fans have a say in the club - not in my time following them?

People also make the voice known on the product hence why crowds fluctuate usually based on success on the pitch or not - this was the case long before we were called customers?

[blue lewj]

I might well have done.

None of us are perfect.

I've not suggested dropping into League 1 would benefit us in any way.

It just seems Tan wants to get as many youngsters or cheap options in regardless of the league we're in.

I realise it will be a bit more than £10k 😄
